BACKGROUND
Technical Field
The disclosure belongs to the technical field of power system control, and in particular, relates to a control method, control device and a wind farm system for a wind turbine frequency support.
Description of Related Art
In recent years, wind farms have become a focus for clean energy. However, wind farms cannot respond directly to system frequency deviations. As a result, as the penetration rate of wind power increases, conventional synchronous motors are replaced, the system inertia decreases, and the system frequency stability faces challenges. Therefore, in order to ensure the stable operation of the system, a wind farm is required to have the capability to actively adjust the system frequency.
In order to reduce wind curtailment, wind farms actively participate in frequency support, mainly using rotor speed control to release rotor kinetic energy, which is achieved through additional frequency support controllers. Affected by geographical distribution, wind speed, and wind direction, wind turbines at different locations in one wind farm have different wind speeds and different rotational speeds, so the frequency support capabilities of the wind turbines are different. Uniform control will prevent the frequency support capabilities of all wind turbines from being exerted and may threaten the operational stability of the wind farm. At present, the control for wind turbines frequency support is mainly divided into two types. 1. A decentralized control strategy is adopted for wind farms, and each wind turbine participates in frequency support through comprehensive inertia control. 2. A centralized control strategy is adopted for wind farms. By calculating the frequency support capability of each wind turbine, the control center issues commands to achieve the frequency support power distribution of each wind turbine. However, in the related art, wind farms are unable to strike a balance between balanced frequency support and stable operation of a power system.
SUMMARY
In response to the above defects or the needs for improvement, the disclosure provides a control method for a wind turbine frequency support with an aim to put all wind turbines in a wind farm in the same control position through leaderless and distributed control, so each wind turbine can receive frequency deviation signals and participate in frequency modulation, so that communication failure accidents have less impact on control, leaderless control exhibits higher reliability, the state of each wind turbine in the wind farm can be followed, the power of the wind turbines in the wind farm can be distributed according to energy, and the technical problem of wind farms being unable to strike a balance between balanced frequency support and stable operation of a power system found in the related art is thereby solved.

According to another aspect of the disclosure, the disclosure further provides a wind farm system including a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor implements the steps of the abovementioned method when executing the computer program.
In general, the above technical solutions provided by the disclosure have the following beneficial effects compared with the related art:
- (1) In this solution, each wind turbine exchanges the state factor with a neighboring wind turbine, so that the wind turbines can continuously adjust their state reference power values. The state reference power value is combined with the MPPT part corresponding to the rotational speed and the comprehensive inertia power value ΔPw,i(t) to determine the instant stator power Psi of each wind turbine, so that the state of each wind turbine in the wind farm can be followed, and the power of the wind turbines in the wind farm can be distributed according to energy. Further, through leaderless and distributed control, all wind turbines in the wind farm are in the same control position, so each wind turbine can receive frequency deviation signals and participate in frequency modulation. Therefore, communication failure accidents have less impact on control, and control reliability can be improved.
- (2) In the solution, an adaptive frequency modulation coefficient is used. The arrangement of this coefficient can make the degree of participation of wind turbines in the wind farm adaptively change with the frequency modulation capability of the wind farm. To be specific, by calculating the wind farm frequency modulation capability level coefficient, the frequency modulation coefficient can be adaptively adjusted, achieving that the frequency modulation coefficient of each wind turbine changes as the wind farm capability changes. It is then used to calculate the comprehensive inertia power value ΔPw,i(t), so that the wind turbine rotational speed is prevented from lowering below the safety limit, and the safe operation of the wind turbines is further ensured.
- (3) In the solution, the droop coefficient kwdr,i and the inertia coefficient kwin,i are adaptively adjusted according to the wind farm frequency modulation capability level coefficient kc corresponding to the moment fb when each wind turbine fails. The droop coefficient kwdr,i and the inertia coefficient kwin,i are then used to calculate the comprehensive inertia power value. By adopting the comprehensive inertia control in the wind turbine frequency support stage, the wind turbine can actively provide frequency support, so the system inertia is improved, and the frequency stability problem caused by a large number of wind farms connected to the grid is solved.
- (4) In the disclosure, by setting the state reference power value
where Ci represents the state factor, in the wind turbine power reference value, the output of each wind turbine changes according to the state changes of its adjacent wind turbines. By matching the output of each wind turbine with its frequency support capability, the frequency modulation capability of the wind farm is maximized, and the frequency performance is improved.
- (5) In the solution, the instantaneous stator power Psi of each wind turbine is obtained by superimposing the MPPT part corresponding to the rotational speed, the comprehensive inertia power value ΔPw,i(t), and the state reference power value ΔPc,i(t). By adopting the comprehensive inertia control in the wind turbine frequency support stage, the wind turbine can actively provide frequency support, so the system inertia is improved, and the frequency stability problem caused by a large number of wind farms connected to the grid is solved.
- (6) In this solution, the set frequency support time is 10s to 20s, and this numerical value is set after weighing. This arrangement avoids the possibility that the frequency support time is set excessively short and cannot effectively improve the system frequency performance, or that the frequency support time is set excessively long and the wind turbine rotational speed exceeds the safe range. By setting the frequency support duration range, the wind turbine can fully and safely release the rotor kinetic energy, so that frequency support for the system is achieved, and the problem of rotational speed instability when the frequency support time of the wind turbine is excessively long is solved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the disclosure clearer and more comprehensible, the disclosure is further described in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein serve to explain the invention merely and are not used to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the invention described below can be combined with each other as long as the technical features do not conflict with each other.
As shown in FIG. 1, the disclosure provides a control method for a wind turbine frequency support, and the control method includes the following:
- In S1, an initial rotational speed ωr,i0 and a minimum rotational speed limit ωr,min of each wind turbine in a wind farm are obtained in real time to calculate a wind farm frequency modulation capability level coefficient kc;
- In S2, when a frequency accident occurs in the wind farm, a droop coefficient kwdr,i and an inertia coefficient kwin,i are adaptively adjusted according to the wind farm frequency modulation capability level coefficient kc corresponding to a moment fb when each wind turbine fails to calculate a comprehensive inertia power value ΔPw,i(t), and a real-time rotational speed ωr,i of each wind turbine is obtained to calculate a state factor C; that changes in real time. Each wind turbine adjusts a state reference power value ΔPc,i(t) of its own by exchanging the state factor with a neighboring wind turbine;
- In S3, instantaneous stator power Psi of each wind turbine is determined by using a MPPT part corresponding to the rotational speed, the comprehensive inertia power value ΔPw,i(t), and the state reference power value ΔPc,i(t), so as to control each wind turbine to perform frequency support until a predetermined frequency support time Δt is reached.
To be specific, the main idea of the disclosure is to add the state reference power value carrying the state factor to a power reference value of each wind turbine in the wind farm. The state factors Ci are exchanged between adjacent wind turbines, and further, the wind turbines all adopt adaptive frequency modulation coefficients, so that the output of the wind turbines is adjusted according to their states and the frequency modulation capability of the wind farm. In this way, the system frequency performance is improved, and unreasonable power distribution that causes the wind turbines to operate unsafely is prevented from occurring.
In one of the embodiments, S1 includes the following. A controller obtains the minimum rotational speed limit ωr,min of each wind turbine WTi and the initial rotational speed ωr,i0 of each wind turbine in the wind farm in real time and calculates the wind farm frequency modulation capability level coefficient
through the rotational speed of each wind turbine in a rolling manner, where ωref,i is the rotational speed of each wind turbine under a predetermined wind farm state.
In one of the embodiments, S2 includes the following: when a frequency accident occurs in the wind farm, the wind turbine frequency modulation coefficients kwdr,i and kwin,i are adaptively adjusted according to the wind farm frequency modulation capability level coefficient kc at the moment. In a time period tb to tb+Δt, the comprehensive inertia power value ΔPw,i(t) of the leading wind turbine satisfies
The droop coefficient kwdr,i and the inertia coefficient kwin,i change with the frequency modulation capability of the wind farm according to the formulas kwdr,i=kwdr0,ikc and kwdr,i=kwdr0,ikc, where kwdr0,i represents the base droop coefficient, and kwdr0,i represents the base inertia coefficient. By setting the relationship between the power of the leading wind turbine and the change of system frequency in this way, the adaptive frequency support of the leading wind turbine to the degree of system frequency changes can be achieved. It should be noted that these are only preferred implementation of the embodiments of the disclosure and shall not be understood as the sole limitation of the disclosure. In some other embodiments of the disclosure, the droop/inertia link of the leading wind turbine may also be eliminated.
In one of the embodiments, the state reference power value is expressed as:
where Ci represents the state factor, and its expression is
which represents the deviation of the wind turbine output from the initial state.
In one of the embodiments, the wind farm is an onshore wind farm. Taking into account the effect of increasing a lowest frequency point of an onshore alternating current system and the safety of the wind turbines, a value range of frequency support time specifically is 10s≤Δt≤20s in the disclosure, and optionally Δt=11.5s in this embodiment.
In one of the embodiments, before a wind turbine frequency is supported and after the wind turbine rotational speed is restored, a torque of each wind turbine WTi is controlled, so that the instantaneous stator power Psi and the rotational speed ωr,i satisfy Psi=koptωr,i2, where kopt represents an optimal coefficient in a maximum power point tracking curve equation. Therefore, based on the control method for the wind turbine frequency support provided by this embodiment, the state of an offshore wind farm may be divided into three states as shown in FIG. 2: a maximum power point tracking state, a frequency support state, and a rotational speed recovery state. Herein, in the maximum power point tracking state, the instantaneous stator power Psi and rotational speed ωr,i of the wind turbine satisfy Psi=koptωr,i2. In the frequency support state, an instantaneous stator power reference value Psi of the wind turbine satisfies a constraint relationship of Psi=koptωr,i2+ΔPw,i(t)+ΔPc,i(t). In the rotational speed recovery state, Psi=koptωr,i2+ΔPr,i(t), where Δr,i(t) represents additional power of a wind turbine rotational speed recovery stage.
The specific expression of the constraint relationship between the instantaneous stator power Psi and rotational speed ωr,i of the wind turbine under different states is:
- where ΔPr,i(t) represents the additional power of the wind turbine rotational speed recovery stage.
In general, in this embodiment, by adding a correction term to the power reference value of each wind turbine, the state reference power value
where Ci represents the state factor and its expression is
represents the deviation of the wind turbine output relative to the initial state. The state factors Ci are exchanged between adjacent wind turbines, so that the output of the wind turbines can be adjusted according to their states, the frequency modulation capability of the wind farm is fully utilized, and frequency performance is improved. In this way, unreasonable power distribution that causes the wind turbines to operate unsafely is prevented from occurring.
The beneficial effects achieved by the disclosure are further described in the following paragraphs together with a specific application scenario.
